Every Little Gesture

What was I thinking of
Making those eyes wet and weary
What was I doing with her photograph
Stapled upon my chest
Trying to look dignified
As we pick up our clothes from the floor
I said that I´ve changed my mind
Don't want to wait and see anymore

Cause every little gesture
Told a little truth
About the way she was feeling
She was pulling out the loose threat on her nylon skirt
She was eating far too much chocolate
And every time she said she really didn't mind
She was biting her bottom lip
Both of us trying to not get upset
Both of us being polite

I spent all night trying to tell her
This was not what I meant at all
She said "You do as I say. But not as I do
And I was never untrue to you."

Cause every little gesture
Told a little truth
About the way she was feeling
She was pulling out the loose threat on her nylon skirt
She was eating far too much chocolate
And every time she said she really didn't mind
She was biting her bottom lip
Both of us trying to not get upset
Both of us being polite.
